LOUISVILLE, Ky, Jan. l7.-Whcn tho
special freight train on the Chesapeake,
Ohio and Southwestern railroad pulled into
Paducah at two o'clock this morning, n
box car loaded with cotton was discovered
on fire. The train men side-trackcd the
car and tried in vain, with the aid OF
the Paducah Fire Department, to
put the flames out. The car was
rapidly consumed, and in the ruins
were found the charred remains of four
tramps, who had evidently secrcted them
selves among the cotton bales while the
car was in the yards at Memphis. 1t is
supposed the cotton ignited from the
tramps' pipes. They were evidently suffo-
Gated and their bodies were so badly
burned that it was impossible to tell
whether they were whites or blacks.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17-Members are be
ing urged to pass the proposed amend
ment to the Constitution changing lnaugu-
ration Day from the 4th of March to the
Both of April. There is very little opposi-
tion to this proposition, but there is dan
ger that it will be overlooked toward the
end of the session if it is not acted upon at
once. Another reason for prompt attention
is that this act must bo submitted to
the Legislatures of the several
States before 1t can be
added TO the Constitution, and that this
will take considerable time. The 3Oth of
April was the original Inauguration Day,
and this is urged as a reason for observing
the historical tradition; but the milder
weather of April is really far more pre-
ferable for the accompanying display
and ceremonies of an inauguration than
that of cold and clustering March, and
this fact is at the bottom OF the whole

PITTsnURdH, Jan. l7-Upon receipt Of
the Associated Press dispatch from Chica.
go stating that Mrs. John Arthurs, the
aunt Of Miss Van Zandt, had telegraphed
from this place to Marriage Clerk Seegur,
iorbiddng him issuing license for the
marriage of the young lady to Spies, the
Anarchist, reporter called upon the lady
at her residence in Oakland. Mrs. Arthurs
seems heart broken. To the reporter she
said Il spent nearly the entire Sabbath
on my knees in prayer for that in
fatuated girl, and when opened
the paper this morning and saw that Mr..
Eugene Seegur, the Chicago marriage H.
cense clerk, had refused the license so that
she could not marry, thanl cd God for
what seemed direct answer TO prayer,
and then the next thing did was TO send a
telegram to Mr.. Seegur, thanking him for
his manliness and courage in daring to re-
fuse the license" The shock to Mrs Ar
thurs and her distinguished father and
mother can readily be imagined, especially
as Miss Van Zandt's mother, who is the
only sister Of Mrs. Arthurs had been visit
ing her parents and sister just two weeks
previous, and with the exception Of joking
" renlarkng that Nina expected to marry
some eniceyoung MANN the spring, had made
nothing known, and had not given the
slightest hint in the true direction. On
reading the news so great was the pros
tration of Mrs. Arthurs' father, Mr.. Wm.
b. Clark, that Mrs. Arthurs was obliged to
write to the Van Zandts the message he
wished to send. The letter was mailed by
10 o'clock Saturday morning, implorng
them TO prevent the wedding. This was
followed closely by another, and the Van
Zandt family were informed that hence
forth they were not to be considered in the
light of relations; every connection, soci
ally and financially, was dissolved forever
| and Miss Nina utterly disinhcritcd. "She
willrcceive no more than our dog lying there
on the rug; every dollar will be bequeath-
| ed to charitable purposes" said Mrs. Ar
thurs, as she wiped the bitter tears from
her eyes. This morning letter was re-
| ccived from Mrs. Van Zandt, from Chica-
90, written before the receipt of those sent
| from Pittsburgh, in which she informs her
relatives of Nina's approaching marriage
| to Spies, the Anarchist, and invites them
| TO be present at the ceremony, which is to
| be performed on Thursday in the Jail at
| Chicago, adding, also, that she and Mr.,
| Van Zandt could find no fault in the man
and had given heir full consent to the
nuptials, and that she hoped the friends
here would not worry themselves.

OF the green table were secured. Among
the latter were many young men who had
been considered models of propriety. just
before the raids were TO have been mado
